Mr. w. G. Hazel, of Ge.rgetown, d. c.,
is the owner Of fashionzbly bred trotting
colt, eleven months old, that stands lat
hands high and well proportional. Since
it was born it has been in the charge Of Mr..
Hezekiah Trail, near here, where it is yet,
and the large development of 1t is due to
the skilful treatment at the hands Of Mr..
Trail
1t is undoubtedly bad policy to say ugly
unkind things absut persons who may be
engaged in the same business that you are
following. In fact ii only de;racts from the
person making it and his business, and in
Nest cases inures to the benefit Of the party
against whom the remarks are directed.
Just in this connection we can cheerfully
and truthfully commend to the public as a
person free from these petty meannesses
